Odell Beckham thought the Giants actually played in New York

While he was an immediate success on the field, Giants receiver Odell Beckham apparently had a lot to learn about the NFL as a rookie. When he got drafted, he thought he’d be playing in a totally different state.

Odell: "When I first came here I thought the Giants were in New York and the Jets were in New Jerswy."

Imagine how disappointed Beckham must have been when he found out he’d be playing in a swamp instead of under the bright lights of the big city. It must have blown his mind when someone told him the Bills are actually the only NFL team that plays in New York.
